Nazareth Teen Mom Kailyn Lowry is the author along with friend Adrienne Wenner, of a new tell-all memoir about her experiences becoming a mother while still in high school and appearing on a reality show.

“Pride Over Pity,” was released this week by Post Hill Press.

The Nazareth grad starred in the second season of MTV's reality series “16 and Pregnant” when she was a senior at Nazareth High School, along with three other pregnant teens - Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer. Lowry's son Isaac was born Jan. 18, 2010.

The stories of the four young mothers continued in MTV's "Teen Mom 2" which premiered January 2011 and just started its fifth season. "Teen Mom 2: airs at 10 p.m. Tuesdays.

The show first followed her relationships with Isaac's father Jonathan Rivera, which fell apart under the stress of raising their child. Lowry moved out amidst their constant fighting, and moved on to a new relationship with co-worker Jordan, who is co-writer Wenner's cousin, only for that to end after Lowry briefly went back to Rivera. Then Lowry met Javi Marroquin and she became pregnant with Marroquin's child. Lowry married Marroquin last fall and the wedding at Adventure Aquarium in Camden, as well as the birth of the couple’s son Lincoln Marshall Marroquin, on November 16, 2013 were featured on the fourth season of the show.

According to a press release, the book "gives readers a raw and brutally honest account of her troubled, often painful story and, for the first time, reveals the dark secrets she has so closely guarded

The book will take readers behind the scenes as Lowry stays at a homeless shelter to qualify for a program that would provide a safe home for Isaac; talks about the question of her sexuality, and discusses traumatic sexual experiences that have left her scarred. It also will delve into her custody battles for Isaac, her diagnosis with bipolar disorder, and struggle with online bullying.

In an excerpt from the book, Lowry writes “If I ever gaze at the past, I shudder. I shudder to count how many times I mistakenly thought I was loved. I quiver unpleasantly to recall the person I used to be and how I acted in some of my relationships. Looking back, it’s not surprising that I turned to boys for love so early. I needed appreciation. I needed to feel worthy. Most of all I needed support.”

Wenner of Bethlehem who wrote the book with Lowry, also took the cover shot of the teen mom.

The book is available at www.amazon.com and costs $19.99 for the hardcover and $9.99 for the eBook.

Fans finally got to see the long-awaited wedding of Nazareth native and star of "Teen Mom 2" Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin last week on the MTV reality series.

The 21-year-old Nazareth graduate who starred in four seasons of "Teen Mom 2" actually married fiance Javi Saturday Sept. 21 at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. At the time, Kailyn was pregnant with couple's first baby (Kailyn's second.) And it was actually the second wedding for the couple who were married in a small civil service during the fourth season of "Teen Mom 2."

Kailyn was walked down the aisle by her three-year-old son, Isaac. In an extra clip, the couple have a rehearsal at the aquarium and practice their kiss.

"Teen Mom 2" which starred Kailyn along with other teen moms Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer first followed her relationships with Isaac's father Jo Rivera which fell apart under the stress of raising their child. Kailyn moved out amidst their constant fighting, and moved on to a new relationship with co-worker Jordan, only for that to end after Kailyn briefly went back to Jo. Then Kailyn met Javi and she became pregnant with Javi's child.

Javi proposed at Lake Wallenpaupack on Sept. 1 2012.

Only two more episodes remain of the season and in the episode at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Javi drops Isaac off with his father Jo.

In the final episode, at 10 p.m. April 8, Kailyn goes into labor.

Spoiler alert: Kailyn gave birth to her second child, a boy named Lincoln Marshall Marroquin, on November 16, 2013.

Nazareth "Teen Mom 2" Kailyn Lowry has stirred up some controversy by posting pictures of herself breastfeeding her son Lincoln on Instagram.

Lowry who has more than 848,00 followers, posted a selfie of her breastfeeding her baby who was born in November and titled it "Nursing, hair and makeup all at once." The photo which doesn't really show anything, created something of an uproar with more than 1,000 followers weighing in both pro and con. When some people posted negative comments calling Lowry classless and saying she was going to mess up her son, supporters chimed in complimenting Lowry for posting the photo and accusing haters of "sexualizing breastfeeding." Lowry then posted a second breastfeeding photo with her husband Javi Marroquin which attracted more than 1,200 comments.

Lowry, a Nazareth Area High School graduate, had her son Isaac at 17 in 2010 and was featured on the second season of MTV's "16 and Pregnant" in 2010. She then was one of four teen mothers, along with Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer, whose lives with their babies were followed in "Teen Mom 2." Lowry has been featured in four seasons of "Teen Mom 2" 2011 to 2013.

The fifth season of "Teen Mom 2" premiered in January and aired Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on MTV where it continues to follow Lowry who married Marroquin in 2013 and had Lincoln.

New research shows that MTV shows “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom,” both of which franchises have prominently features local teens, have contributed to significant declines in the U.S. teen birth rate.

In the report released Monday by economists at the University of Maryland and Wellesley College, the programs led to a 5.7 percent reduction in teen births or about one-third of the decline in teen births in the 18 months following the premiere of the first "16 and Pregnant" in June 2009.

Experts say the shows which have featured Nazareth native Kailyn Lowry and Neffs teen Alexandria Sekella among its young mothers, shows the harsh realities of teen pregnancy and demonstrates how hard it is to raise a baby when the mother is still in high school.

“This new research shows that, rather than glamorizing teen pregnancy and parenting as some have suggested, "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" are more sobering than salacious,” said Sarah Brown, CEO of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.“Simply put, the media can be, and often is, a force for good.

Lowry, a Nazareth Area High School graduate, had her son Isaac at 17 in 2010 and was featured on the second season of "16 and Pregnant" in 2010. She then was one of four teen mothers, along with Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer, whose lives with their babies were followed in "Teen Mom 2." Lowry has been featured in four seasons of "Teen Mom 2" 2011 to 2013.

The fifth season of "Teen Mom 2" will premiere 10 p.m. Jan. 21 on MTV and will continue to follow Lowry who married boyfriend Javi Marroquin in 2013 and had a second baby, Lincoln, in November.

Sekella who had daughter Arabella in 2011 was one of the young mothers in the fourth season of "16 and Pregnant" that aired in 2012. She and fellow teen moms Katie Yeager, Mackenzie Douthit and Briana Dejesus, were followed for one season of "Teen Mom 3" in 2013 before MTV announced in December it was cancelling "Teen Mom 3."

MTV has said they are casting for a fifth season of "16 and Pregnant" but haven't announced an air date.

“One of the nation’s great success stories of the past two decades has been the historic declines in teen pregnancy and childbearing," Brown says. "MTV and other media outlets have undoubtedly increased attention to the risks and reality of teen pregnancy and parenthood and, as this research shows, have likely played an important role in the nation’s remarkable progress.Indeed, reality series like these two MTV shows and other constructive programs should be seen as key parts of 21st century sex education."

Other research has shown similar results.

In a 2012 national survey, 77 percent of teens said "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom"help teens better understand the challenges of pregnancy and parenting and 74 percent of adults with teenagers said they talked about sex, love, and relationships because of something they saw in popular media.

And a 2010 study of youth in Boys and Girls clubs found that a majority of teens who watched the show talked about it with a friend afterward and 40 percent said they talked to a parent about it. Also, 93 percent of teens in the study agreed with the statement that “I learned that teen parenthood is harder than I imagined.”

“This exciting new research from respected economists with a proven track record of studying teen pregnancy provides powerful new evidence of how media can shape behavior in positive ways," says Brown. "We look forward to learning more as other investigators examine the influence of media on teens’ decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy."

The 21-year-old Nazareth graduate who starred in four seasons of "Teen Mom 2" married fiance Javi Marroquin Saturday Sept. 21 at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. The baby, Kailyn's second, is due in November

It was actually the second wedding for the couple who were married in a small civil service during the fourth season of "Teen Mom 2."

MTV reported that the wedding was attended by 140 people, but not Kailyn's parent from whom she is estranged.
Kailyn was walked down the aisle by her three-year-old son, Isaac.

She posted this photo of her and her son dancing at the wedding as her Twitter profile picture tweeting "Nobody understands the love I have for this little boy!"

"Teen Mom 2" which starred Kailyn along with other teen moms Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer first followed her relationships with Isaac's father Jo Rivera which
fell apart under the stress of raising their
child. Kailyn moved out amidst their constant fighting, and moved on to
a new relationship with co-worker Jordan, only for that to end after
Kailyn briefly went back to Jo. Then Kailyn met Javi and the couple were engaged in September 2012. Now she is pregnant with Javi's child.

In a spread in OK Magazine, Kailyn detailed last year's proposal by Javi
whom she had been dating for a year. The magazine reported he got down on his
knee at Lake Wallenpaupack on Sept. 1 2012 to pop the question.

An obviously excited Javi tweeted "I can't wait to say I do to my best friend again!" last week before the wedding and afterwards tweeted "Marroquin family is growing" and linked to this picture on Instagram of he and Isaac kissing Kailyn's baby bump.

Kailyn also tweeted the exuberant "OUR WEDDING IS TOMORROW. TOMORROW. TOMORROW" on the eve of the wedding.

The wedding is featured in spreads in this week's "In Touch" and "Life & Style" magazines.

Hollywood Life reported that "Teen Mom 2" will return for a fifth season, but MTV has not confirmed the report.

Parkland grad Alexandria Sekella returns to MTV as one of four young mothers featured on the new series "Teen
Mom 3."

Sekella of Neffs and her baby Arabella join other moms Katie
Yeager, Mackenzie Douthit and Briana Dejesus, all from season 4 of MTV's "16
and Pregnant" on "Teen Mom 3" which airs Mondays at 10 p.m.

Alex had dreamed of opening her own dance studio,
but put everything on hold when she found out she was pregnant. Now,
she juggles three part time jobs as she attempts to finish high school,
all while raising her daughter Arabella with very little help. Alex
does everything possible to keep her life under control, but her baby’s
father and on-and-off again boyfriend, Matt McCann, struggles with addiction and has moved in with Alex and her mother but there continues to be tension between the two.

The show premiered Aug. 26 with back to back episodes with more drama between Alex and Matt, who had just returned home from six months in rehab.
When he pestered Alex to travel to downtown Allentown to get a sandwich and returned without
any food, Alex was suspicious he had lied to her and was back on drugs.

"He had this look in his eye," she said. "We went to center city Allentown and I was afraid I was going to get carjacked or shot."

She said while he was in rehab, Matt was writing letters to her telling her he loved her and wanted to change but once he got our he was back with his friends, who she says encourage him to do drugs and alcohol. She said she felt he had manipulated her.

"The Matt that kept writing me letters I did have feelings for," she said. "But when he came back and I physically saw him, I
didn't feel it anymore. It made me realize at that point that I hadn't
felt any type of physical connection with him since when I was
pregnant."

In Monday's episode, the couple decide to go to therapy to try to work thingsout.

The next episode "Pushing the Envelope" in which Alex finds out Matt has been talking to another girl, is at 10 p.m. Monday.

Alex is the second Lehigh Valley young mother to be featured in the MTV franchise after Nazareth grad Kailyn Lowry starred in four seasons of "Teen Mom 2" along with fellow moms Jenell Evans, Chelsea
Houska and Leah Messner from 2011 to 2013. There are rumors the show may return for a fifth season.

MTV
says the “Teen Mom 2” franchise drew an average of 3 million viewers per episode.

Arabella the 17-month-old daughter of Parkland grad Alexandria Sekella, one of
four young mothers from MTV's recent season of "16 and Pregnant" and who
will be featured on "Teen Mom 3,"is a baby pageant winner.

Sekella of Neffs tweeted "My lil belly [is] a Cinderella pageant winner" and posted the attached photo of the little cutie in a fancy dress and tiara.

Sekella continued that Arabella was awarded "best personality overall" and "she waved and blew kisses" to win over five other babies.

Arabella competed in the Pennsylvania Cinderella Pageant which took place Sunday in Harrisburg and says on its website it is "more than a beauty pageant."

The site says the baby pageants are not about “rhinestones
and ruffles” but encourage children to dress in an age-appropriate and
"classic" fashion. The babies compete in casual wear modeling, party wear
modeling, playtime and photogenic. The site says the pageant introduces babies to
good manners, grace and self-confidence.

It's not surprising Arabella is already performing since her mother has danced and competed with East Coast Dance Connection in Whitehall, and dreams of one day opening her own dance studio.

Sekella and Arabella will join other moms Katie
Yeager, Mackenzie Douthit and Briana Dejesus, all from season 4 of "16
and Pregnant" on "Teen Mom 3" airing in 2013.

The father of the daughter of "Teen Mom 3" Alexandria Sekella of Neffs has been seriously injured after falling off a cliff at Back Oven Knob in Heidelberg Township Sunday.

Parkland grad Alex tweeted Monday that ex-boyfriend Matthew McCann"was involved in a horrible accident," and is in the hospital intensive care unit and told her Twitter follower "please keep him in your prayers."

A spokesperson from Lehigh Valley Hospital at Salisbury Township said Matt was in stable condition Tuesday.

Alex tweeted that she found out from Matt's mom about the accident and that he was with his "psycho friends" when the accident happened.

Tabloid website The Ashleys Reality Roundup reported that Matt broke his neck and several bones in his spine. The site also reported that Matt’s friends were involved in a serious car accident, hitting a tree when they went for help for Matt.

Alex said the pair's daughter Arabella was not involved and "she's not allowed anywhere near him."

She also tweeted she blames his "crazy friends" for the accident and said they "took him there and provided him with alcohol"

She has had an on again, off again relationship with Matt who has admitted using drugs.

Bake Oven Knob, the highest point in Lehigh County on the Blue Mountain, often attract groups of young people because of the view, but has rocky terrain and steep cliffs and can be very dangerous.

Alex tweeted that she went to visit Matt at the hospital and tried to talk to him about the accident "he got defensive and asked
me to leave." She reported he said he "tripped over his shoe lace."

In Touch website is claiming "Teen Mom 2" star and Nazareth grad Kailyn Lowry secretly married her boyfriend Javi Marroquin on Sept. 4. The site which says it interviewed Kailyn quotes her as saying “You just know when it’s right.” The couple announced they were engaged via Twitter in September.

However Kailyn tweeted yesterday "I never did an interview with In Touch."

The tabloid also claims to have obtained a marriage document that says the couple were married by Distirct Judge Michael J. Pochron at his office at 3000 S. Pike Avenue in Allentown. However the document misspells Marroquin's name as "Marroquim."

Other tabloids have jumped on the story using photos Kailyn, 20, released when she announced her engagement to Javi in which she is wearing a fancy dress, saying it looks like a wedding dress.

Kailyn also denies the rumor, tweeting the "photos were not wedding pictures. Those were for a dress made from book pages FOR FUN."

MTV has announced the third season of "Teen Mom 2" which stars the mother of 2-year-old son, Isaac, along with other teen moms Jenelle Evans, Chelsea
Houska and Leah Messer will return at 10 p.m. Monday.

The couple have been in New York City this week filming the reunion for "Teen Mom 2"
On her website Kailyn relates the story of how she met Javi while she was working at the Buckle store at Lehigh Valley Mall.

"Javi and his
brother come in," she writes. "I assume his older brother is his dad & that gets
us laughing. At check out he asks to take me for ice cream and I tell him no, lol. Anyway, from there
he came into Buckle again and we started forming a friendship via
Twitter and Buckle visits. Eventually, I gave him my number. "

In a spread in OK Magazine, Kailyn detailed the proposal
by Javi whom she has been dating for a year. The magazine reported he
got down on his knee at Lake Wallenpaupack on Sept. 1 to pop the question.

The Facebook Teen Mom 3 Official Fan Page is
saying it can confirm that Parkland's Alexandria Sekella is one of
four young mothers from MTV's recent season of "16 and Pregnant" who

3," but with "Teen Mom 2" starring fellow Lehigh Valley young mother and Nazareth grad Kailyn Lowry airing Nov. 12, it seems likely the show will debut in early
2013.

When we left Sekella, the dancer dreamed of owning her own dance studio and she has had an on again, off again relationship with her daughter's father Matt McCann who has admitted using drugs.

"Teen Mom," the original franchise, is currently in its fourth season
although MTV has said this is the final season for the show, which will
start airing internationally in October 2012.

Both young women are likely to be on the show for a while since MTV
says the “Teen Mom” franchise ranks as Tuesday’s #1 original cable
series. The second season of “Teen Mom 2” was the #3 original cable
series of 2012 and in 2011. “Teen Mom 2” and “Teen Mom” were the year’s
#3 and #5 original cable series among viewers 12-34. The last season of
“Teen Mom” drew in an average of 2.4 million viewers.*

MTV has announced the third season of "Teen Mom 2" which stars the Nazareth graduate along with other teen moms Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer will return at 10 p.m. Monday Nov. 12.

It is a new night for the show which follows the four young mothers who face challenges as their children enter into their “terrible
twos.”

Kailyn, 20, who is the mother of Isaac, will face a rollercoaster ride with her relationships during the course of the docu-series.

Early on, Kailyn and Isaac’s father Jo's relationship
fell apart under the stress of raising their
child. Kailyn moved out amidst their constant fighting, and moved on to
a new relationship with co-worker Jordan, only for that to end after
Kailyn cheated with Jo. In the third season Kailyn goes back and forth between Jo and Jordan, before deciding to go to Texas to try to reconnect with her long
lost half-sister. While she's there, Kailyn’s estranged mother tries to
see Isaac behind her back and then Kailyn
meets a new guy named Javi, to whom she recently got engaged.

Since its launch in 2009, “Teen Mom” has been a ratings hit for MTV. Season two of
“Teen Mom 2,” ranked as Tuesday’s #1 original cable series and the season was the #3
cable series of the year.

"No concrete wedding

Meanwhile Kailyn also posted a photo of her and Isac on her web page taken for the NOH8 Campaign, a protest photo project against California Proposition 8 which prohibits same sex marriage.

According to a Facebook page calling itself Teen Mom 3 Official Fan Page Parkland's Alexandria Sekella is one of four young mothers from MTV's newest season of "16 and Pregnant" who will be featured on "Teen Mom 3."

The second Lehigh Valley girl to appear on MTV's "16 and Pregnant" will have the episode focusing on her pregnancy air at 10 p.m. April 17 according to an MTV spokesperson.

Alexandria Sekella of Neffs is one of 12 girls featured on the fourth season of MTV's top rated reality series.

Sekella, a senior at Parkland High School and who dances for East Coast Dance Connection in Whitehall, is described on MTV's official fan page for the show as "a feisty teen from Pennsylvania... who may provide some of the major drama of this season thanks to her boyfriend’s struggle with addiction."

"Teen Mom 2" Kailyn Lowry has been hurt by her family members and her pain was obvious in an interview with MTV that followed "Teen Mom 2 Finale Special: Check-Up with Dr. Drew," Tuesday.

The Nazareth grad said she had changed her phone number and moved to avoid her mother and "so she doesn't know where I live." She said she doesn't even want her mom to spend time with her grandson Isaac.

"She wasn't in my life, she doesn't deserve to be in is," she said.

Kailyn said she believed her mother, who went with her on a recent episode of "Teen Mom 2" to collect her things from Jo's family's home, didn't do it out of love but because she was concerned about how she would come across to TV viewers.

Jo, the father of Isaac and Kailyn's ex-boyfriend, defended Kailyn's mother and said she does love and miss Kailyn.

However Kailyn admitted she belives her mother does care about Isaac she's "not sure what she thinks about our relationship."

The teen then said she would rather go it alone than depend on people who might hurt her.

"I want to fight through things by myself for Isaac," she said. "I don't want to go back to a place where I have to rely on somebody else."

Nazareth grad Kailyn Lowry and Jo, her ex-boyfriend and baby daddy to year-old Isaac, have generated fireworks on the MTV reality show "Teen Mom 2" which air Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Now Jo, also known as Jonathan Rivera, is trying to use his fame from the show to apparently cash in on a new career as a rapper.

Jo, using the name N.I.C.K B has recorded a minute and a half long video of himself rapping on YouTube on Feb. 22. Five days later he uploaded a second video shot in grainy black and white that he titled Teen Dad 2 response.

There is some mild language but nothing like the profanity-laced diatribe he launched at Kailyn on the show when she picked up her belonging from his parents' home. Here is the first video.

Tuesday was a rough night for Nazareth "Teen Mom 2" Kailyn Lowry, both on and off the show. The 18-year-old star of the MTV show and year-old son Isaac were in a car accident on Route 191 while on the Tuesday's show, Kailyn struggled with her decision to move out on her own with her baby.

Fortunately neither Kailyn nor Isaac was hurt Tuesday in the accident in which she rear-ended another car but her car was totaled she said.

"It's a big mess" was her description of her situation on the show.

In last week's show Kailyn and Isaac got kicked out along with Isaac's father Jo when the teen got into a fight with his dad. This week Jo and Kailyn sit down with Jo's parents to discuss the situation. Jo's dad says they can move back home but theyr have to work on their relationship.

Jo wants to get back together saying it will be "easier," but Kailyn is less sure.

"I'm not focused on the relationship," she said. "I'm focused on everything else."

She tells Jo's parent she wants to live on her own with Isaac.

"It may not be realistic but I have to take the chance," she says. "I'm not willing to put my son's and my happiness at risk."

She told Jo that them living together again was a "recipe for disaster" but that she would temporarily move back in, but only because it was best for Isaac.

In a extra online scene, Kailyn talks with Jo's mom who tells her she will "be there" for Kailyn "with or without Jo."

Things are looking tough for Nazareth "Teen Mom 2" Kailyn Lowry. In Tuesday's episode on MTV, she got kicked out and now is faced with finding an place to live for herself and baby Isaac. And Isaac's father Jo is not helping matters.

Things started off more smoothly than usual with Jo and Kailyn agreeing to try and work on their relationship for the sake of the baby.

However things were still tentative between Jo and Kailyn who is going to Northampton Community College full time and struggling to find someone to watch IIsaac.

But the real trouble started when Jo's parents became disgusted with the constant fighting vetween the teenage couple who both are living in their home.

Then Jo mouthed off to his dad and got the whole young family kicked out. Jo took Isaac to Newark where he crashed with his aunt infuriating Kailyn who has to stay at a friend's house.

The next day Jo tells Kailyn he wants the three of them to get an apartment together in New Jersey but Kailyn who works in Whitehall and goes to school in Bethlehem Township doesn't see it as a good option, leading to another fight in which Jo accuses Kailyn of being selfish. At this point Kailyn has pretty much had it with Jo.

"I'm so tired of not knowing what's going to happen next," she said. "The only way for me to figure things out is for me to do it by myself."

In a sneak preview on RadarOnline, Nazareth "Teen Mom 2" Kailyn Lowry heard an impassioned plea from the father of her son Isaac, to get back together.

It's been a rollercoaster ride for Kailyn who went behind her baby's dad Jo's back to date co-worker Jordan and then announced her new relationship status via a Facebook update. The move upset both Jo and Jo's parents with whom Kailyn lives. Jo's parents gave Kailyn an ultimatum last week, dump Jordan or move out.

Now in the sneak preview of the show at 10 p.m. Tuesday on MTV, Jo accused Kailyn of dating Jordan "out of spite." He said finding out about the relationship was a "slap in the face."

Kailyn told Jon that she still loved him but "neither of us have been happy for a long time."

However Jo argued, that after Isaac was born and they were working together to take care of him, they were happy. "I want to have my family back," he said.

But Kailyn, who said she wanted to concentrate on working, making money and going to school, added she wasn't sure the couple were "ready" to get back together.

After sneaking off to have a date with co-worker Jordan, Nazareth grad Kailyn Lowry decided to come clean about the new relationship in the most subtle way possible - change her relationship status on Facebook.

The second episode of MTV's "Teen Mom 2" had Kailyn trying to decide what to do about her fledgling relationship with a new guy that she was keeping a secret from her baby's father Jo and his family.

Only problem is she lives with Jo's family and actually has Jo drive her to the park for her secret date. Jordan seems like a nice guy and even likes the idea of spending time with Kailyn's seven month old son Isaac.

However Kailyn is unsure about the relationship and tells her friend he's "goofy-looking" and "dumb," to which her friend responds “Dumb people are sometimes really fun because they don’t know any better.”

Despite her misgivings the relationship gets more serious, and Kailyn's friends suggest she change her Facebook status from “single” to “in a relationship” to let Jo and his family in on her little secret. Surprisingly it doesn't go well and Jo's parents question Kailyn’s parenting skills saying “You don’t solve problems by starting new problems.”

The other teen moms also struggle with serious problems. Leah's one twin Ali can't close her hands and she takes the baby to a pediatrician for an emotional evaluation. Jenelle brilliantly tells her lawyer in her custody battle with her mother that she's smoking pot and Chelsea thinks about getting back together with Adam, the father of her daughter.

It looks like an explosive second episode of MTV's "Teen Mom 2" at 9 p.m. Tuesday when Nazareth grad Kailyn Lowry sneaks off for a secret date with a co-worker. In a preview clip on RadarOnline.com Kailyn has former boyfriend Jo drop her and their seven-month old son Isaac off in a park so she can have a date with Jordan who makes goo-goo eyes at Isaac and buys them ice cream.

What makes it even harder is Kailyn and Isaac are living in the basement of Jo's parents' house.

"They don't really know so I have to sneak around," Kailyn tells Jordan in the clip. "It's not right because they do a lot for me but I need to do something to make myself happy."

After a fight on the first episode of "Teen Mom 2" Kailyn and Jo broke up.

Kailyn, 18, who was pregnant and a senior at Nazareth Area High School, when she appeared in the MTV reality series last year, now has a part-time job and is attending Northampton Community College to be a dental hygienist.

Kailyn admits that although she wouldn't tell Jo who she was meeting which made him angry, "I want to spend more time with Jordan."

But Kailyn is walking a fine line. She can't risk getting kicked out of Jo's parents' house or she will have nowhere to go. So far her own mother has not offered any help and seems more interested in her own dating life.

The show already is looking to be a hit for MTV - exceeding the first "Teen Mom's" ratings and breaking records. According to Nielsen ratings, the season premiere averaged 3.6 million viewers, with 3.4 million viewers in the 12-34 age bracket, an increase of 55 percent from the first season debut.

It's not even October and already the Halloween costumes of our scariest celebrities are available. Last year the Kate Gosselin wig made headlines and "The Eight Is Too Much" wig is back.

Costumekingdom also has a Kate Gosselin wig for those who want to dress up as the "mom who has a whole barnyard of children running around the house." They say the wig is styled "just like the reality television star's hair with blonde streaks and highlights." Rock hard abs and bikini not included.

However it looks like the Berks County mom's costume pales next to a reality star from the neighboring state of New Jersey. It seems the Snooki costume is hot this year.

Several companies are selling wigs of Snooki's trademark poof under names including Snookie and Jersey Shore Rehab. And the Guidette costume even includes pink framed sunglasses and oversized hoop earrings. (Hurry only one is left in stock on Amazon!)

The MTV reality show "Jersey Shore” wrapped up the filming of season 3 in Seaside Heights on Saturday, Sept. 4, but September visitors to the resort can still relive the antics of the crew as they enjoy the "Snooki Sandwich."

NBC NewYork reports popular Seaside Heights' eatery Johnny G's, cashed in on the show's popularity by offering a Snooki Sandwich owner John Gugliotti said was "quite popular."

The sandwich named for the petite tanzilla includes peanut butter, Nutella and marshmallow fluff on two slices of white bread that are batter-dipped and deep-fried.

Sounds about as healthy as Snooki's tan.

MTV has not said if they are returning to Seaside Heights next year. However the second season is pulling great ratings. Last week’s episode had 6.5 million viewers which makes it the highest-rated show on the network in the 12-34 demographic in the last 8 years.

Whew!. That “Jersey Shore” gang has been busy. After Snooki was arrested a couple weeks ago on the Seaside Heights beach and charged with disorderly conduct after beachgoers said she was was bothering them, castmate Ronnie was arrested Sunday in Seaside Heights for unpaid parking tickets.

But Snooki, Nicole Polizzi, stayed in the headlines with an unsusccessful attempt to trademark her nickname that was stymied by a Philadelphia cartoon cat; a tiff with the president and being labelled a "whore" by her former beau.

The Smokin Gun found out that U.S. Patent and Trademark Office turned down Snooki’s request to trademark her nickname in books because of a “likelihood of confusion” with a previously issued trademark. That 2004 trademark was for “Adventures of Snooky, Under the Sea,” a now-out-of print children’s book that was made using ground-breaking hologram technology and was in memory of an Ambler father of five young children, who died of a rare cancer.

The book, touted as the first 2-D custom hologram children's book was written by Philly-area natives Karen Monaghan and Maureen Monaghan-Faber, in memory of their brother Brian Monaghan who died at age 34. The books raised funds for "Sarcoma Foundation of America,” and more $25,000 was donated in Brian's name.

The good news for Snooki is her application to trademark “Snooki” for use in “Entertainment in the nature of personal appearances by a television personality” appears on track.

Snooki also lashed out at Obama over the weekend in an E news interview after the president told the ladies on “The View,” “I gotta admit, I don’t know who Snooki is.”

Snooki ranted “I know he knows who I am. Why did he have to lie and say he didn’t know me? He did say Snooki and JWoww about the tanning stuff and now he doesn’t know who I am? He has to stop lying.”

And now an ex-boyfriend is taking aim at the petite partyer. Emilio Masella called his former squeeze a whore after she was caught on camera groping and propositioning her Jersey Shore costar Vinny. In the episode, which aired Thursday, a drunk Snooki called Emilio at 6 in the morning as she simultaneously groped Vinny.

“How could she do this to me? I feel like a fool trusting her… My ex is a whore!” he said.

Dishing about her recent arrest on the Seaside Heights boardwalk, Snooki told MTV she is “too pretty to be in jail,” and apparently Arizona senator and former presidential candidate John McCain agrees.

On Wednesday, the 83-year-old McCain said of the 22-year-old “Jersey Shore” star during a radio interview on KMLE radio in Phoenix, “I kind of think she might be too good looking to go to jail.”

The day after the new season of her MTV show premiered, Snooki was arrested for disorderly conduct after appparently partying all day on the beach. TMZ reported she was seen on the beach with a beer bong and at a local bar doing “body shots.” The charge carries a potential fine of between $250 and $1,000, but Snooki will not face any jail time.

McCain's comment is the continuation of a odd love-fest between the octogenarian senator and the self-proclaimed "guidette."

A month ago, Snooki expressed concern about a ten percent raise in tanning bed taxes and McCain tweeted her that he “would never tax your tanning bed.”

Then in an interview with McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain for The Daily Beast, Snooki revealed she was a McCain supporter saying “to be honest with you the only reason why I voted for your father was because he was really cute.”

Thursday Snooki tweeted McCain “Thanks for having my back! I'm going to make you part of my family. Grandpa Snooki for president.”

Snooki told MTV News she thinks everyone is taking her arrest too seriously.“I had a couple cocktails and they just put me in a drunk tank to sober me up. I was on the beach. It happens to the best of us, and I'm not planning on going back to jail ever again. I was a public nuisance — big deal!”

That’s when she added, “"I'm too pretty to be in jail. I'm a good person. I'm not a criminal, and I will never go back there.”

The publicity certainly doesn't hurt the popularity of the reality show which drew 5.3 million viewers, up from last year’s debut of 4.8 million.

Don’t adjust your television if you’re watching MTV around 10 p.m. tonight, the “Jersey Shore” cast is really that orange.

That’s right, tonight is the premiere of season two of the hit show “Jersey Shore.” Contrary to the name of the show this season takes place in Miami where there are less clothes and the bars don’t close at 2 a.m.

With that said we can only expect more drama, drinking and damage to relationships. MTV News recently sat down with the busy cast to talk about the upcoming season.

“I am excited for people to see season two. It is 1,000 times more dramatic and just, overall, 1,000 times better than 'Jersey Shore' 1," Jenni “Jwoww” said. While DJ Pauly D added, “If you like season one, you'll love season two.”

Mike “The Situation” added his two cents, “You've seen season one, you know what happens there!” In case you didn’t see season one, don’t worry, it’s playing all day on MTV from 1 p.m. all the way up to the premiere at 10 p.m. He continued to say, “There's so much more hookups, make-ups, breakups, the whole nine, and you guys are definitely going to love season two.”

Okay, so basically each of the “juiceheads” said the same thing just worded it differently. Guess you’ll have to watch on your own to find out when all this drama goes down. TV Guide mentions that the episode will include the casts transition to Miami and already Sammi “Sweetheart” get into a fight with Ronnie for flirting with other girls at a club.

One change to the show that we are aware of is a new theme song. During the opening scene on season one the song “Get Crazy” by LMFAO played softly in the background as the cast’s names scrolled across the screen. The new theme song “I Like It” is sung by Spanish pop singer, Enrique Iglesias, to give that Miami flare. Rest your arms today so you can fist pump along with the cast later.

Speaking of music, Us magazine exclusively reports that O'Neal McKnight has created a song based on the popular cast mate, Nicole “Snooki.” The song is called ‘Do the Snooki’ and was penned after McKnight saw the episode of Snooki dancing on the boardwalk after running into an ex. Can’t believe this song didn’t make it onto the soundtrack… Listen to the song yourself here.

The cast is back in New Jersey to start filming season three in Seaside Heights. Matt Lauer spoke with the cast briefly this morning on the “Today” show. The cast says that they hope to bring New Jersey out of their big deficit. Sadly, we have to agree that they will bring profit because all the guidettes have booked their shore houses and guys can begin their Snooki snooping.

It’s time to dim the lights on the cast of “The Hills,” and
if you ask us it’s long overdue.

The cast, who is ever changing, had made it to the 100
episode mark now says goodbye to the cameras.

It started as a great spin off to Laguna Beach, but ended in
big egos and even bigger boobs for some people. The show’s end was in sight due
to spiraling ratings and mindless plot lines and also due to the media you can
keep tabs of the “characters” on your own.

Lauren Conrad, once the narrator and star of the series, saw
that it was no longer a good image for her brand and got out. Her experience on
the show though had led her to write a series of novels that landed on the NY
Times Best Seller List. She also has gained success through her clothing line exclusively
at Kohl’s.

However, her BFF Lo Bosworth stayed on the cast and actually
became a main player and not just background noise.

The never ending love affair between Audrina Patridge and
Justin Bobby added another element and quickly became a messed up love triangle
with Kristin Cavalleri, the now narrator and star of the show.

The show has even broken up power couple Speidi, Spencer
Pratt and Heidi Montag. Heidi filed for divorce this June and cited irreconcilable
differences. Guess those E sized boobs got in the way of their relationship.
Can’t wait to say goodbye to that creepy flesh colored beard Spencer has grown.

The sneak preview of the episode up on MTV’s website is
pretty vague. The clip just features Kristin telling Brody Jenner that she’ll
be leaving town for awhile and that she’s throwing a going away party for
herself.

The TV Guide listing also gives minimal details stating that
Kristin is making life changing decisions (we doubt it), Audrina moves on from
Justin Bobby (heard it before) and Lo considers taking the next step with a new
boyfriend (they probably won’t last).

The 30 minute series finale will air at 10p.m. July 13 on
MTV. Stay tuned to watch “The Hills: A Hollywood Ending” at 11p.m. The special
features the cast at the finale party and interviews including one with the
original member, Lauren Conrad.

So, teen mom Kailyn Lowry is engaged to her baby's daddy Jo. After a drama filled episode featuring the sad family situation that forced Kailyn to move into Jo's parents house in Nazareth, the couple announced that they are planning to marry during "Life after Labor." That's the reunion show allowing fans to catch up with the teen parents.

Kailyn's pregnancy, delivery and first weeks of being a parent wraps up this documentary-style reality show's second season. The season followed 10 girls as they come to terms with the fact that being a parent is hard and changes your life. Which is hardly a revelation to the adults in the room.

The pregnant Kailyn is living with her boyfriend Jonathan "Jo" Rivera and his parents
in their Nazareth home. Her mom is living in a hotel with a
boyfriend. Before her baby boy was born she flew to Texas to meet her
Dad for the first time. She calls Jo's mom crying because the reunion is so disappointing.

When she gets back to Nazareth, she's faced with Jo shutting her out. That's why the engagement announcement seems surprising. The birth of their son is less drama filled than some of the other moms in the series.

The fun part of watching Kailyn's episode was knowing the locations. During the hour long show she toured Northampton Community College and took her mom baby furniture shopping in Easton.

MTV's been criticized for taking this serious issue too lightly. In this episode, Kailyn and her friends giggle over the fact she got pregnant on prom night.

The announcements during breaks in the show that "Teen Pregnancy is 100% preventable" do seem a little forced. And the fact that there's a Facebook page for Kailyn might send a message that MTV is making these teen moms celebrities.

If you have a cool $15,000 you can snag the house where Snooki and "The Situation" partied hard, for the fourth of July weekend.

Too rich for your blood? A single night at the Seaside Heights house from the MTV hit shoe "The Jersey Shore" can be had for a measly $6,500.

Yahoo.com is reporting the owners of the infamous beachside party house have listed the porperty for rent. Although rumors have abounded that the Jersey Shore cast will head to a different seaside resort for this year's show, Yahoo.com says there is no availability for rental at the house after July 15th, perhaps indicating the cast will return to their owl stomping grounds at Seaside Heights.

ABC says Snooki and her housemates from "Jersey Shore" are headed to "The View." The stars of the hit MTV reality series about a group of 20-something Italian-Americans will be guests on the weekday talk show on Feb. 23. All eight castmates - Snooki, JWoww, Jolie, Vinny, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D and The Situation - are scheduled to appear.

The party hearty show has been a regular topic of conversation among "The View" hosts, who include Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd.

Snooki and the other stars of “Jersey Shore” say they want more money to continue their exploits in a beach house on MTV's hit reality show.

MTV has offered the cast $10,000 apiece for each of Season 2's planned dozen episodes, according to TMZ.com. The cable network has warned anyone who holds out will be replaced.

The "Jersey Shore" season finale Thursday was watched by 4.8 million viewers.

Sources said MTV originally offered the cast $5,000 an episode, with a $10,000 signing bonus bu the cast banded together and rejected the deal, “Friends”-style.

The cast of the popular NBC sitcom started the trend where everyone banded together to negotiate as one for the final season of the series. In the end, the actors got big raises.

According to TMZ, MTV said they will consider using replacement cast members to fill in if the original stars don't accept the offer by the end of the day on Monday.

The network has reportedly received thousands of audition tapes and is willing to mix new and old cast members. It is said they already have replacements at the ready.

And it isn’t helping the negative publicity from a recent "Jersey Shore" cast party at a a Montclair NJ nightclub ended with fist fights and arrests.

Police saids fans of the show deluged a New Jersey nightclub, forcing the closure of a road and leading to the arrests of four people.

About 2,000 people showed up at the 501 Lounge and police said fights broke out among the crowds who gathered for the advertised meet and greet with the cast of the hit reality TV show. Four people were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and drunken driving. Police closed a stretch of the main business strip outside the club for two hours.

An appearance by Snooki in Lower Nazareth Township Saturday was more orderly.

Star General Manager Holly Jarrett estimated 3,500 people came to the dealership to see Snooki (Nicole Polizzi). The event was a Red Cross fundraiser after the Haiti earthquake.

Monday night on The Daily Show, during a segment in which Jon Stewart took President Obama to task about stimulating jobs, he featured a clip of the incident last Friday when a second-year LCCC student suggested legalizing prostitution, gambling, drugs and non-violent crime in orderto stimulate economy during Obama's visit to the Lehigh Valley.

After the clips ran, Steward feined a look of shock, threw up his arms and proclaimed "Caligula 2012," before going to a commercial.

Not included in the clip is Obama's answer which is as follows.

"I have to say this, I appreciate the boldness of your question," he told the student. That will not bemy job strategy."

Stewart also obviously isn't familiar with the area since he somewhat butchered the name Schnecksville.

Here's the original clip of the incident. The Daily Show clip from Monday can be seen at TheDailyShow.com.

Last night, Kanye West spoke for three minutes with Jay Leno about his actions toward Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs.

Leno asked him what his mother (who passed away in 2007) would have thought. West paused for nine seconds and appeared to be fighting off tears. He responded that he was "ashamed" and that he needed to take some time off.

Kayne had an ego before his mother died and yes, what he did what extremely inappropriate and looked like it hurt Taylor's feelings. But he went on stage and made an idiot of himself and he's made an idiot of himself in the past when his mother was still alive. Bringing up a dead mother to a guy who clearly has issues dealing with her passing is a hit below the belt.

The internet is on fire today after last night's Kanye West/Taylor Swift debacle. Here's what people are saying about the incident:

Host Russell Brand:

"You don't like to see people upset, but I think it just gets exciting, live television, live events. People get worked up and things happen."

Singer Katy Perry:

“I thought people were trying to shine tonight when it’s not their time to shine. I think Taylor is wonderful and
Kanye is so talented, but come on man — get the f**k off stage!”

New York Daily News:

However rude West's intrusion may have been, it suited the controversy the VMAs openly crave.

Rolling Stone:

According to sources at the VMAs, Swift was seen hysterically crying
backstage after Kanye’s outburst, making it convenient that the first
part of her performance of “You Belong to Me,” which immediately
followed the acceptance speech, was prerecorded.

Doylestown native Pink tweeted:

"Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh*t on earth. Quote me"

Perez Hilton:

"How RUDE! Yet, very Kanye like."

Later, West apologized via his blog:

I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR
SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND
SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!"

"16 and Pregnant: Life After Labor" airs Thursday night at 10pm ET/PT. The finale special, hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky, will be an issue-driven forum on teen pregnancy. All six of the teen mothers profiled on season one of the series will participate in the event.

As part of the program, Dr. Drew will discuss each girl's specific issues and challenges and update viewers on what's going on in their lives now. The open discussion is intended to provide a platform to address the controversial topics shown during season one: birth control, adoption, abortion, marriage, religion, gossip, finances, high school graduation and employment. During the show, Dr. Drew will field questions by members of the live studio audience, as well as select emails from viewers.

Sneak peek clips from the special for Whitney, Maci and Farrah can be found on YouTube.

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnany is working with MTV to support the series, which has already been picked up for a second season.

Have you been watching? Is MTV the appropriate platform for a show on teen pregnancy? Sound off in the comments section now!

After tonight, I'll be back on track for my normal TV watching/writing schedule. But for now, I'm going to compress my thoughts on the latest episodes of Breaking Bad (excellent once again) and 24 (still watching, wishing certain storylines would die) as well as some amazing news on the TV on DVD front:

Breaking Bad

Had I written a post devoted solely to Breaking Bad, I would have had trouble picking a title. "The Tortoise and the Head"? "The Ballad of Walt and Jesse"? "Beware the Blowfish"? I'm thinking "Ballad," since a good chunk of the episode dealt with the double-edged sword of Walt and Jesse's growing reputation.
